Adventure

You can find adventure is the places least expected
You can keep some shiny tokens of the places you've collected
And when you dreams are big enough, your mind expands to see
then you will find adventure wherever it can be

You can let your heart take charge and your boredom is absconded
You can tease the ones around you 'til the best ones have responded
You don't have to hide from life, you can hop aboard and fly
then you will find adventure as you soar across the sky

You can let your mind be happy from the joy that you invented
You will feel your heart be soothed and make your soul contented
You have a world to be explored, and the path is up to you
Just hope to find adventure in everything you do.

Not me

See the snowy peaceful meadow
with a softly gurgling stream
and the silence brushed in grey tones
as it whispers in a dream
See the hawk that rides the wind
on the gossamer threads of sky
Feel the peaceful vision haunt you
That is not I

I am sunsets, I am lightning
I am traffic in the rain
I am passion.  I am torture
I am love and I am pain.
I will never leave you peaceful
But I will infect your brain
with the notion that emotion
might just leave you quite insane

So watch the placid water
lapping gently on a hull
that floats upon a lake
as the wind gusts gently pull
See the timid flowers petals
that fly slowly through the air
Listen to the quiet
I'm not there

But I will be in the music
Blasting silence, playing loud
I'm in the midst of fracas
you can find me in a crowd
I am abrasive and creative
have more depth than what you see
but the peaceful sounds of nothing

..thats not me

The point of the day

Theres a point of the day
when it all goes away
when theres no more to say
and its now

Theres a time that I stop
and I just want to drop
but my mind starts to pop
and its now

Theres a minute or two
When I dont have a clue
what exactly to do
and its now

Theres a point to this day
but I just want to say
when will it go away
is it now?

A Shell

I am a shell, I am a vessel
Not my purpose do I serve
I must be without feelings
without heart, without nerve
I am a shell, a container
I'm only there to hold your game
I am empty.  I am nothing
I am soulless without name.
I'm devoid of all true feelings
I do not act like pain can get me
I am tired of pretending
I am not ok, forget me.
I'm your dirty little secret
No more value than a lie
but I feel more than you know
I'm a shell but I can cry
I'm afraid to ever know you
But without you will be hell
I am hollow.  I am empty.
I'm a vessel.  I'm a shell.

Tracy Suit

I'm wearing a Tracy suit today.
It looks just like the real thing indeed
Down to every last strand of hair
Its got everything that I need

I'm wearing a Tracy suit today
so all around me will see
Something that looks exactly like Tracy
But inside its some other me

I'm wearing a Tracy suit today
I left myself in my bed
I have my Tracy outsides fine
But I left home my Tracy head.

I'm wearing a Tracy suit today
If I said I was Tracy, I lied
I am Tracy complete to all who see me
But completely empty inside.
